[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the sadest part is that Katrina didn't realize that she was living in poverty when she was married and before she even had the first child.  The failed belief that they were "getting by" when she was married and the three kids is a popular one among those living in poverty because they simply don't know enough about financial matters to understand that they are in poverty and what and how to get out.

I agree.  Having three children is a VERY expensive endeavour.  We only had one because we felt we "couldn't afford it" when we were bringing home $85K during child bearing years (didn't pay for child care & had a $500 a month mortage).

It annoys the piss out of me when someone says, "Raise the minumum wage at McDonalds, a single mother of three can't support her kids."  The chances are that mother was pretty damn poor before she even had the first child.  She should have had enough common sense not to have two more.[/quote]
That's all you got out of this...really? Your ignorance is astounding. Yep, we all need to make better decisions. People need to be better educated about finances and how to handle their money. Oh -- wait, maybe we need an educational system that is equally educating EVERYONE. Maybe we should not have schools that are falling apart and worth s***. AND yes, we need to raise the minimum wage. People should be able to make a living at a job -- period![/quote]
